James August 2024

“A really nice cottage, well presented with everything we needed to enjoy our week away, conveniently located in the middle of town, near to the local shops and eateries.”

Quiet position but only a few steps from the street, no seagull noise ! useful decked area to sit and relax on.. we look forward to returning next year..

- James, August 2024
Samuel August 2024

“Superbly clean, fabulous facilities, wonderfully comfy.”

Perfect town centre position but perfectly calm and quiet with it. The welcome pack of goodies and the car park pass is a perfect illustration to the thought the owners have put in to ensure our stay was as good as it could be.

- Samuel, August 2024

Hi Samuel, what a lovely review to read, thank you so much! I’m very pleased you found the cottage to your liking and enjoyed your stay, hopefully you can return again one day :) Property Owner
Rachael August 2024

“We loved our stay, the cottage had everything we needed and in a great location.”

Thank you Jess you obviously put alot of thought into ensuring everyone has a great stay. Ps Harbour (our fluffy cocker spaniel) loved her stay too and loved watching the seagulls fly over out on the terrace.

- Rachael, August 2024

So pleased you enjoyed your stay in the cottage and thank you for taking the time to review a long with the top score, it really does make a difference to future bookings :) Hopefully you can return again one day x Property Owner
Denise August 2024

“We really loved the cottage!”

So cute and great use of space! The bed on a mezzanine was a bit hot though. Just one other thing, it's great that we could take our dog, but unfortunately their was a gate on the terrace with a big space at the bottom for him to get through! I think this needs to be addressed if the owner allows dogs. On the whole we loved staying in the cottage!

- Denise, August 2024
Ellen July 2024

“A great and comfortable cottage.”

Great location and really helpful to have the parking permit. A great touch in providing a welcome pack, welcome card and a pre paid post card. The only other feedback we would offer is that a toaster would be really handy. Other than that the cottage is a real gem. Thanks again Tess for a great stay at your beautiful cottage

- Ellen, July 2024

Hi Ellen, Thank you for taking the time to review, happy to hear you enjoyed your stay. I’m so sorry you were without the toaster. It’s kept with the microwave and iron under the breakfast bar. As your the second person to mention it I think I’ll just leave it out on the bench from now on, I’m a clutter free person, haha. Thank you again for your review online and in the book, lovely to read :) Property Owner

“Lovely place to stay.”

You won't find a more convenient location - central but still peaceful. A nicely kept and clean property.

Thank you Stewart for taking the time to review, appreciated. Happy to hear you enjoyed your stay here and hopefully you have the opportunity to return in the future :) Property Owner
Lewis June 2024

“My wife and I plus our small dog had a lovely 3 night stay here.”

The location just off of the high street was perfectly situated for it to be quiet and private enough rest and relax, but still with quick and easy access to the town. The inside and outside is well thought out and after a days exploring, we enjoyed returning to the cottage to unwind and settle in for the evening. We would highly recommend and hope to return in the future.

- Lewis, June 2024

Thank you very much for taking the time to review my cottage, appreciated. Happy to hear you enjoyed your stay and that you will return in the future :) Property Owner

Rachel May 2024

“Had a fantastic week staying at Glan Meon with my husband.”

Cozy and comfortable bed, lovely reclining two seater sofa and an amazing shower. The kitchen was well stocked and the location was perfect, central to Barmouth yet nicely tucked away and quiet when sat out on the terrace (apart from the seagulls ofcourse!) and so well maintained inside. We will be recommending it to family and friends and will be booking it again should we return to Barmouth in the future

- Rachel, May 2024

Hi Rachel, thank you so much for taking the time to review and such a lovely one, it really does make a difference to securing future bookings. Glad you enjoyed your stay and I look forward to your return :) Property Owner
John March 2024

“Simply a nice little place, ideal for two & a pooch.”

Great location & well presented. Kind to provide milk & a welcoming welsh cakes. Will recommend in future.

- John, March 2024

Hi John, Thank you very much for taking the time to review, appreciated. And thank you for the 5 stars, so glad to hear you enjoyed your time in the cottage and your stay in general. Hope to have you return in the near future :) Property Owner
Leila March 2024

“The only thing I can say is that the bed was slightly too firm for my liking but this is a superb accommodation.”

Everything you could need, built to a good standard and all the equipment is decent quality. The radio didn’t work but we could use the tv or phones and the wifi was excellent. It’s quiet and tucked away but also just off the high street so you have access to all that Barmouth has to offer easily. I’m already planning my next stay.

- Leila, March 2024

Hi Leila, thank you for taking the time to review, and the 5 stars, much appreciated! Apologies the radio didn’t work, no signal unfortunately, more to use as a phone charger and a music Bluetooth speaker. Very happy to hear you liked the cottage and enjoyed your stay :) Hope to have you back in the near future, Tess x Property Owner
Cathrine February 2024

“So nearly booked another week Glan Meon cottage was just what I needed .”

In the town itself so no need for a car , I travelled by bus from home . The cottage is lovely ! Cosy and comfortable ( sofa and bed especially ). Super-clean and nice and quiet . I had forgotten to bring a face flannel -provided ! A torch-also provided ! Nice to have a shower mat . A lovely welcome card from the owner , plus provisions to start my break . I liked all the information in the folder , plus guide books . The cottage is a credit to the owner , well thought out with a very high quality finish . I will definitely book again

- Cathrine, February 2024
Jonathan February 2024

Great spot to start the Circular Walk from, close to beach and pubs, restaurants and shops. Thank you for the welcome card & welsh cakes!

Definitely would stay again in the future.

- Brian, August 2023

Hi Brian, Thank you for your feedback. Glad you enjoyed your stay in Barmouth and in the cottage. Hope to have you return in the near future. Property Owner
Sue August 2023

“This is a beautiful little cottage, that was spotlessly clean (maybe the cleanest place we have ever stayed) Obviously, it is not suitable for the elderly or disabled, but that is made very clear in the listing.”

It is in an ideal position in the town, but very quiet and relaxing. We loved it.

- Sue, August 2023

Hi Sue, thank you so much for taking the time to review, much appreciated. Lovely to read that you found the property as possibly one of the cleanest you have stayed in, a priority of mine to keep like that. Glad you had a nice time in Barmouth and enjoyed your accommodation, thanks again, Tess :) Property Owner
Ali August 2023

“We found Glan Meon to be a lovely little property tucked away in the heart of Barmouth.”

We spent a week here (couple plus dog), the space is very well thought out and equipped - it had everything we needed and we had a lovely week. Despite being so centrally located, we found it to be very peaceful with no disturbance. We hope to return to see more of Barmouth and the surrounding area.

- Ali, August 2023
Amanda July 2023

“Really quirky, well presented and well equipped cottage, with style and comfort.”

It's not for those who are not very mobile and we had fun accessing the bed, which was extremely comfortable. If you want town centre, this is this place, but you wouldn't know it as it felt, and was, very quiet. Access to the cottage was a little challenging but all part of the experience. The description and notes were very accurate. We had a lovely long weekend doing things we like to do: walking, challenging climbs (Cadar Idris!), watching nature, paddling, boat trips, eating and enjoying wonderful views.

- Amanda, July 2023

Hi Amanda, Thank you very much for taking the time to review, they do make a difference to securing future bookings. I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed your stay and found everything to be comfortable in the cottage and that you made good memories with all your activities . I hope to be able to welcome you back again one day, Tess :) Property Owner
Maria May 2023

“The owners have used the space cleverly.”

It feels very spacious, although headroom is limited in the sleeping platform! The lighting and power points are fantastic. The outdoor space is just right. The location is perfect, very near the beach and restaurants, yet very quiet as it is set back. The parking permit was very welcome, as was the lovely card and goodies. The property was very clean too. We had a fantastic stay, helped by perfect weather.

- Maria, May 2023

Hi Maria, thank you for such a lovely review! So nice to read, am very pleased you enjoyed your time in Barmouth. I would also like to say thank you for leaving the place so spotless, what a nice surprise. (Replaced tin opener, constructive advice appreciated). Thank you again for taking the time to review, they really are helpful for future bookings. :) Property Owner

“Beautiful place and very close to local pubs, restaurants and beach”

- Deanna, May 2023
Bridget April 2023

“Glan Meon Cottage, although in the centre of Barmouth is exceptionally quiet and peaceful.”

We really enjoyed spending time there but also just being able to pop out and explore on foot very easily, be it for refreshments, shopping, fish and chips, the beach and the hills.

- Bridget, April 2023

Hi Bridget, thank you very much for taking the time to review, appreciated :) I’m glad you liked the cottage and enjoyed your time in Barmouth.x Property Owner

Rosemary August 2022

“This cottage was really lovely, everything we needed to enjoy our stay, comfy bed and great entertainment through the freeview play tv.”

Another wonderful stay at Glan Meon cottage, spotlessly clean and all the extras provided are brilliant, we will definitely be going back again, like home from home

Diane December 2021

“Had a wonderful weekend in this immaculate and beautifully furnished, compact cottage.”

Hidden away off the high street, this ancient stone property has provided us with the perfect base to access beach, hills, shops, bars and restaurants. Sad to have left so soon.

- Diane, December 2021
Bryan November 2021

“Excellent little cottage and credit to the owners.”

We will visit again.

- Bryan, November 2021
G November 2021

“Fabulous cottage.”

Avery welcoming with lovely touches as the biscuits and postcards. Only downside was the temporary roadworks which caused a problem for loading up at the end of our stay. Would definitely return to and recommend this cottage.

- G, November 2021
Louisa October 2021

“The cottage was finished to a high spec with lovely furnishings.”

However, having no windows made it very claustrophobic so much so, we left 2 days early.

- Louisa, October 2021
Laura August 2021

“Hard to fault the cottage.”

Much more spacious that the photos imply. Excellent cottage conversion with brilliant craftship of the all the fixtures and fittings. Was very pricey is the only gripe.

- Laura, August 2021
Alexandra July 2021

“A wonderful cosy and super comfortable cottage, with all the things needed for a perfect week.”

Beautifully clean and ideally located in the middle of Barmouth just minutes from harbour, beach and nice restaurants. Perfect for a walking and wild swimming holiday. Really hope to be back. Thank you very much.

- Alexandra, July 2021
Anthony July 2021

“As always excellent value for money and this cottage had everything”

- Anthony, July 2021
Gary June 2021

“Lovely little cottage conversion in the heart of the town.”

Spotlessly clean with very welcome cake, bread and milk on arrival. Fully fitted with latest smart TV and broadband. Good shower, bed up the steep handmade steps a little adventure. And Barmouth is such a good base for exploring South Snowdonia. Highly recommended.

- Gary, June 2021
Zoe June 2021

“Very clean and tidy cottage.”

Perfect for two people and a dog close to town. Would stay again.

- Zoe, June 2021
Laura May 2021

“Our 2nd stay in this fabulous cottage was even better than the 1st!”

We couldn't imagine staying anywhere else in Barmouth, a perfect holiday home. Also looks like the owners have responded to all little suggestions in the guest book which is great!! There were even more useful bits and pieces in the house (cafetiere!!). Already planning our next visit.

- Laura, May 2021
Kevin May 2021

“Lovely clean Cottage and plenty of space”

- Kevin, May 2021
Laura April 2021

“The cottage could not have been more perfect!”

To be so close to everything, yet still feel we had such a secluded spot was brilliant. The cottage was clean and comfy (especially the bed, we slept like kings), and there was milk, tea bags, good coffee and welsh cakes left for us! We are already planning our return. Thank you for a wonderful holiday!

- Laura, April 2021
Gary December 2020

“Beautiful renovation to cottage.”

The downside, futon cushion as bed, very uncomfortable and not fit for purpose, three nights no sleep. Lack of bedding so also cold, parking for car is five mins walk away, would be a concern in busy months. Poor customer service from Sykes not interested in my complaint referred to it as feedback.

- Gary, December 2020

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Glan Meon is a much loved cottage and the Owner who, as you know, lives close by, would have been happy to rectify any issue had you raised it with her during your stay. It is of paramount importance to her that guests have an enjoyable stay and has taken your feedback on board and replaced the mattress. Property Owner
Jessica October 2020

“Beautifully renovated little cottage, perfect for 2 people.”

The photos don't do the place justice. Great location. The bed was a little uncomfortable, but we would definately recommend this cottage and would love to stay again.

- Jessica, October 2020
Jody October 2020

“Such a perfect little cottage situated so perfectly in the centre of the town but also tucked away for a quiets night sleep.”

The cottage had everything we needed for a comfortable stay & our dog settled in right away. The owner was fab and gave us tons of recommendations which were super helpful, especially the ones about getting to Snowdon early. Cannot wait time visit again!

The property

Tucked away down stone streets and narrow alleyways, Glan Meon Cottage is a charming stone property resting in the centre of Barmouth in Wales.

Enjoying the beautiful sandy coast to one side and the mountainous terrain of Snowdonia to the other, Barmouth is a perfect mix of coast and countryside, with Glan Meon Cottage being ideal for a couple.

Once you have found this hidden Barmouth gem, step inside and be welcomed into the open-plan living space, with exposed timber beams holding up the high ceiling, and a mezzanine level home to the king size bedroom reached by a ladder, it's a unique and homely layout.

Make use of the kitchen when you're not dining out, perching at the breakfast bar with a coffee and sitting down to the dining table for a romantic home-cooked meal.

Relax on the plush fully reclining sofa before the smart TV in the evening, or relax out on the balcony on a balmy evening, connect to the Bluetooth speaker with a refreshing drink.

Come back from the beach and wash the sand off in the walk-in shower in the shower room, and settle down in the evening in the fabulous bedroom area up in the eaves.

The town of Barmouth has so much to offer by way of attractions, from the classic seaside amusements to the wonderful Barmouth Heritage Trail, taking you around the town to explore all the nooks and crannies and telling the history of Barmouth's part in the woollen, slate and ship-building industries.

Enjoy relaxing on Barmouth Beach, with great waters for swimming and watersports too, you can book a lesson for stand up-paddle boarding and other sports to explore the waters.

Walk to Barmouth Harbour to go on a fantastic boat trip for dolphin watching, seal spotting, and fishing, with scenic views of the coast along the way.

Head into Snowdonia to enjoy walking and hiking, with the Coed y Brenin Forest Park offering woodland trails and a café and visitor centre.

The historic town of Harlech is well-worth a visit and is home to the stunning Harlech Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it commands outstanding views over the town and the sea.

Glan Meon Cottage offers the best of both worlds, the coast and countryside in the charming town of Barmouth.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £50.
